CAFE On 3 at Holiday Inn, Mayur Vihar is celebrating KOSHUR SAAL, a Kashmiri Pandit's Food Fest from 16th Feb to 24th Feb, 2018 with special curated menu by Home Chef Rajni Jinsi

Once again the home chef Rajani Jinsi is back with the sumptuous meal from Kashmiri Pandit’s Delicacies  i.e. KOSHUR SAAL, the Kashmiri Food Fest where the food is rich in flavors and somewhat mild in taste. The Fest is on from 16^th Feb to 24^th Feb, 2018 at Café On 3, Holiday Inn, Mayur Vihar and it is on for dinner time at Rs 1799 plus taxes. 

Rajani Jinsi has curated the menu which includes the authentic delicacies from Kashmir. It is commendable that without Onion, Garlic, Tomatoes, the food is as tasty as we North Indians are used to have food with all these. Maximum use of Yoghurt and Milk along with spices like Cinnamon, Cardamom, Clove,… is done to cook food. Earlier Pure Ghee was used extensively, whereas now a days, Mustard Oil is used for cooking, and also with very less use of Dry Fruits, the food is not heavy. In Kashmir, Rice is a staple food with variety of Meat and Veg delicacies and the Breads like Bakarkhani, Girda, Katlam are generally served with SHEER CHAI.

Started the evening with KABARGAH…….Braised Lamb Chop done with Milk and Saffron and was served with MODUR POLAV…..Sweet Rice Pilaf with dry fruits and Walnut chutney……surprised to see  the combination which is a tradition there to be served like this and truly enjoyed it. TALITH GADH……Fried fish with mild spices was crisp. NADRU MONJI…..fried flat Lotus Stem Patties served with MUJH CHETIN i.e Radish Chutney. TSAMAN PAKODE…..Paneer pakode done with rice flour which makes them crisp.

MATS GUND, MURG YAKHANI, MUJH GADHL, YODUR CHAMAN….Lamb, Chicken, Fish, Cheese  delicacies for the main course were just awesome done with yoghurt, milk and  mild spices for the gravy.  CHOEK WANGAN…..tangy tamarind gravy is used here for Egg Plant and was delicious. NADUR YAKHN…..Lotus Stem done on yoghurt gravy. The famous DAMA OLUV….Dama Aloo and HAAK SAAG…..traditional green leaves with curry. Each and every dish has distinct taste and flavor.
